What’s in a name? Dollar signs, officials hope

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Westfield Washington Schools has procured three donors for its “Build the Rock” campaign to construct a new football stadium behind Westfield High School.

One of them is St.Vincent Health. Supt.

Mark Keen announced that the hospital will have a major sponsorship role in the new Westfield Washington Community Fields.

St.Vincent provides sports medicine care at Westfield Washington Schools and currently has two athletic trainers at the high school and one at the middle school.

“St.Vincent Health has been a part of the school system for more than five years in a variety of capacities. We’re a member of the community and wanted to be a part of the school system,” Jeffrey Chapman of St.Vincent Health said.

Keen said the district was still working on procuring another major donor so the exact naming rights have not been announced. Keen said St.Vincent’s sponsorship could be either the playing field or stadium naming rights.

“It’s seven figures,” he said of St.Vincent’s commitment. “More than any other Central Indiana has received for naming rights.”

In comparison, Noblesville received $125,000 from Hare Chevrolet for its football field naming rights.

WHS Athletic Director Bill Davis said the “Build the Rock” campaign was looking to raise $7.5 million with a goal of $9 million.

“We’re going to do even better things,” he said. “We’re not jumping by hundreds, we’re jumping by millions.”

The campaign is offering naming rights in five- and 10-year increments, Davis said.

“We’re trying to create a situation where a lot of people can get involved,” he said.

Keen said Sodexho had committed to being a major sponsor, and Paul Estridge of the Estridge Co. has committed $350,000 to become the scoreboard title sponsor.

The campaign began with $1.3 million.

Keen said this came from the refinancing of bonds. He added that the stadium will be built with no taxpayer dollars.

“We want to drive our tax rate down. It’s all driven by donations,” he said.

Once the stadium is built, WWS will sell the current stadium. Keen said money raised from that sale will go to pay off bonds, which will lower tax rates for Westfield citizens.

The new stadium may be built in installments as money allows, Keen said.

The three-part process includes the plaza entrance and visitor’s locker room; artificial

field and track, underground electrical wiring, concession stand and possible bleachers; and the home bleachers, press box and home locker room. Keen expects the field to be used for more than 100 events in the fall and 60 events in the spring.

“It’s not just a football field; it’s to be owned by the community for a variety of events,” he said. “We want the community to use what we build because we are part of the community.”

Farm bill – A bill to prevent an estimated $57 million property tax increase on Indiana farmers was approved by the state senate on Feb. 5. State Sen. Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) said Senate Bill 319 would delay, for an additional year, the implementation of a new federal formula for assessing farmland property taxes.

Top hospital – Parents magazine recently named Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health one of the top pediatric standouts in the United States.

The magazine ranked Riley at IU Health 11th overall and extended particular recognition to the hospital in two pediatric specialty areas, ranking it fourth in the nation in neonatal care, and seventh in pulmonary care. Riley at IU Health was the only Indiana children’s hospital to be included in the magazine’s rankings of overall quality and specialty care.

Lazarus, love and patience – Spirituality Columnist Bob Walters writes about how Valentine’s Day is a great holiday to have in the middle of winter and cites scripture to show examples of love and patience. “The great chapter about love in the Bible is generally considered to be Paul’s 1 Corinthians 13 in the New Testament, but it has nothing to do with the excitations of Valentine’s Day. Paul is describing the Walters divine love of Jesus Christ and the example it should be in our lives as Christians, not the roses and romance of modern culture,” he writes.

Grand Park makes first impression

BestHeartCare.com

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

While its official opening isn’t until next spring, Westfield’s Grand Park Sports Campus made its debut to the soccer world at the recent National Soccer Coaches Association of America annual convention in Indianapolis, which hosted more than 9,000 officials.

“Grand Park was introduced to the international soccer world,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. “We displayed with hundreds of others, and we got some great exposure.”

In addition to its booth at the convention, Grand Park Sports officials and Indiana Soccer Association officials hosted a private reception at the J.W. Marriott for potential sponsors, stakeholders, tournament directors and various “who’s who” in the soccer world. Cook said U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati told him, “what an impact (Grand Park) is going to have to the soccer world.” This VIP reception showcased the world-class facility and encouraged coaches to consider making Grand Park Sports Campus their next tournament destination.

“I was surprised at the national and international interest in the facility,” Cook said, adding that he talked with officials from across America, Mexico, Brazil and England. “It showed we did a good job, and we are on the right track.”

When completed in 2014, Grand Park will include 26 baseball diamonds and 31 full-size fields for soccer and other field sports. Cook

said Grand Park’s target audience was midlevel youth tournaments. Instead of hosting a championship tournament with eight to 10 teams, Cook said Westfield was looking at regional tournaments with 200 teams.

Carmel resident Ersal Ozdemir announced in January that he planned to bring a professional soccer team to Indianapolis in 2014. While the team will be playing its games in Indianapolis, Cook said smaller tournaments, exhibition games and clinics might be held in Westfield.

“They very much want to be invested in Grand Park,” Cook said. “The presence of professional teams will have some huge benefits for us.”

Summer to bring bridge’s opening

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Bicyclists and pedestrians will have a safer trip across 146th Street starting this summer, which is when officials anticipate the Monon Pedestrian Bridge will be completed. Matt Knight, bridge program engineer for Hamilton County, said the project should be finished by the end of May even though current work at the site is on hold because of the weather.

Knight said the intermediate lift of asphalt is in place and the snow melting system is installed.

Handrails will be installed within the next few weeks, and the surface lift of asphalt will be installed in the spring.

“Right now, the bridge is essentially built,” Knight said. “The subcontractor is starting to work on (the handrails) and needs a couple weeks of workable days. Once that’s up, we should be able to open the bridge.”

Besides the railing and second layer of asphalt, Knight said the project needed light touch-ups and landscaping work which will be completed in the spring, depending on the weather. Construction on the project began in August 2012.

The Monon Bridge project is a partnership

between Westfield, Hamilton County, Carmel/ Clay Board of Parks and Recreation and Clay Township. The Hamilton County Highway Dept. has been the lead agency in designing and obtaining federal funding for the five-span, pre-engineered steel truss bridge to connect the Monon Greenway from Carmel to Westfield over and across 146th Street.

The structure spans 428 feet with a 12-foot-wide path to provide safe crossing for users.

Total construction costs were anticipated at $2.9 million. INDOT has allocated $2.5 million of federal funds to pay 80 percent of the project’s cost. Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones said the remaining $585,600 would be divided among Westfield ($156,160), Clay Township ($195,200) and Hamilton County ($234,240).

“There have been a couple of change orders to increase costs – nothing drastic,” Knight said.

According to the agreement, the county will be responsible for all structural maintenance of the bridge. The Clay Township trustee and/ or the park board will be responsible for paying the electric charges necessary to heat the bridge, maintaining the heating system and periodic removal of snow, trash and other debris from the bridge.

First night back, K9 finds his guy

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com After three months off duty, a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office K9 returned to work and made a immediate impact.

Waldo, a K9 unit working with Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Nate Biddle, returned to patrol on Jan. 22. On his first night back, Biddle, Waldo and other night shift patrol deputies helped the McCordsville Police Dept. search for a suspect who was wanted for felony domestic battery and criminal confinement.

After tracking the suspect for about half a mile, Waldo found his man hiding in a tree. Sheriff’s deputies where then able to take the suspect into custody without any further incidents.

Waldo had been removed from service in the fall of 2012 because of a leg injury. He underwent surgery to remove two inches of bone from his leg to repair the bone that had grown too long, according to Sgt. Dustin Dixon. Waldo rested Hamilton County Sheriff Deputy Nate Biddle and K9 Waldo. (Photo proand rehabbed during his time off. vided by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office)

WWS earns energy saving award news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield Washington Schools has joined the EPA’s list of ENERGY STAR Leaders, an elite group of organizations that has improved energy efficiency across its entire group of commercial buildings.

“Through this achievement, we have demonstrated our commitment to environmental stewardship while also lowering our energy costs,” Supt. Mark Keen said.

ENERGY STAR Leaders must meet one of two energy efficiency improvement milestones.

The first milestone requires a 10-percent improvement in energy performance across their entire building portfolio, and subsequent recognition is given for each 10-percent improvement thereafter. The second milestone, known as “top performer,” requires the buildings in an organization’s portfolio, on average, to perform in the top 25 percent of similar buildings nationwide.

To be eligible for ENERGY STAR Leaders rec-

ognition, organizations are required to track and submit energy performance data for all buildings and fuel sources through EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool.

To be recognized as an EPA ENERGY STAR Leader, WWS improved the energy efficiency of the buildings in its portfolio. The WWS Energy Reduction Impact was 38,901 MMBTUs which is 5,151 equivalent metric tons of C02. The cumulative greenhouse gas reduction is equivalent to 925 passenger cars not driven for one year and 131,758 tree seedlings grown for 10 years.

Last year, President Barack Obama announced a nationwide call to action to make commercial buildings 20 percent more energy efficient by 2020. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program provides a strategic pathway toward superior energy efficiency, including a focus on ongoing performance measurement and wholebuilding improvement that has helped these leading organizations make meaningful progress toward the president’s goal.

Suspected mailbox vandals head to court

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com On Feb. 20, four 18-year-olds will appear in court to answer to charges that they used overpressure devices, or works bombs, to damage mailboxes in several Westfield neighborhoods.

On Jan. 31, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against John R. Rogers, 18, Grant J. Plummer, 18, and Zachary A. Loftalian, 18, all of Westfield, and Maxwell R. Jackson, 18, of Brownsburg.

Each has been charged with five counts of using an overpressure device, a Class A misdemeanor, and five counts of criminal mischief, a Class B misdemeanor. A Class A misdemeanor conviction carries a penalty of imprisonment for a fixed term of up to one year and a fine of up 12 | February 12, 2013

to $5,000. A Class B misdemeanor conviction carries a penalty of imprisonment for a fixed term of up to 180 days and a fine up to $1,000.

The four were charged after off-duty Sheridan Police Chief Bill Curl observed several males making a purchase at Wal-Mart on Jan. 18 which consisted of the ingredients needed to make the devices.

COMMUNITY Cover Story

Newly elected Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt is excited about the opportunities, and challenges, he faces

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the next four years, Westfield’s Mark Heirbrandt will serve as Hamilton County Commissioner in District 3. While his name never appeared on a voting machine or before the public voters, Heirbrandt was elected during a caucus of Republican Precinct Committeemen from Hamilton County on Jan. 26.

“I knew I had an uphill battle. A lot of people in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville didn’t know who I was,” he said. “It was important that I got out and met people that were going to vote. For two weeks, my wife and kids hardly saw me.”

Heirbrandt will serve the remainder of Doug Carter’s term after Carter resigned in early January when he was selected by newly elected Gov. Mike Pence to be the Indiana State Police superintendent Heirbrandt has known Carter for 40 years, but the two became friends during Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen’s campaign.

“At a golf outing, we were paired together and just hit it off,” he said.

“The past two years, I’ve gotten pretty close to Doug. We went to a lot of the same conferences and drove together to events… He’s very ethical.

He’s kind of a model for me. I have the utmost respect for him.”

When Carter knew he might be tapped as ISP superintendent, he called Heirbrandt during Thanksgiving and asked him to consider running.

“He had to know by Monday,” Heirbrandt recalled. “It was a huge commitment, but my family encouraged me to do it. I kept my mouth shut to not start rumors.”

Heirbrandt was on vacation with his family when his phone started lighting up following the official announcement of Carter’s new role.

“I had $200 in long distance charges from people calling me saying I needed to do this. It was really humbling,” he said.

Heirbrandt and his wife, Gina, have lived in Hamilton County for 20 years. While they currently live in Westfield, the couple have also lived in Carmel and Noblesville.

“I have a good understanding of what the different needs are because I’ve lived in different communities,” Heirbrandt said.

Heirbrandt credits his strong work ethic to his father.

Meet Mark Heirbrandt

Age: 48 Residence: Westfield Birthplace: Indianapolis Family: Wife, Gina; and three sons, Blake, 19, and twins, Ethan and Evan, 15. Mark has a twin brother, Mike, who has triplets.

Education: Ben Davis High School and the University of Indianapolis (on a track and field scholarship).

Hobbies: “I like to golf, fish and work out.”

Best job: A paper route he had in seventh grade. “It taught me responsibility. No matter what, I had to be up at 5 a.m. delivering papers,” he said. “I had the responsibility to handle money and make sure my manager got it. I also learned how to deal with people. I dealt with all kinds of personalities.”

Personal quote: “I fully believe that if I do the right things, good things will happen. Sometimes it bites me, but in the end it’s always worked out.”

14 | February 12, 2013

“We grew up in the construction business. We never slept in Saturdays because he worked us,” Heirbrandt said, adding he teaches his sons the importance of physical labor. “We’re usually doing hard labor.

I’m usually filthy dirty.”

Being involved in public service is not new for Heirbrandt, who served for six years on the Westfield Board of Public Works and Safety.

“Mark is an outstanding member of the Westfield community, and he will be a true asset to Hamilton County serving as commissioner,” City of Westfield Spokeswoman Carrie Cason said. “He displays all qualities of a true public servant.”

Heirbrandt works in the energy engineering and water treatment service industry. His focus is on local governments within the state of Indiana so he works with councils and elected officials every day.

“I go in and assess the facilities and operations, look for cost-saving opportunities and creative ways to save them money. I uncover inefficiencies and work to offset costs with grants, state incentives or creative funding,” he said. “The past 14 years I’ve been involved in local government. I know what worked and what didn’t work.”

In his first month as a Hamilton County Commissioner, Heirbrandt wants to get out and meet the people in Hamilton County.

“I’m absolutely blown away by the quality of people we have in Hamilton County working for us,” he said.

Heirbrandt also is looking to learn from fellow Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman and Steve Dillinger.

“They’ve got a lot of experience. I was encouraged because I really want to learn a lot from both of them,” he said. “I think I’m going to bring some energy and a new perspective. I want to continue to make Hamilton County a great place to live and raise a family.”

Altman said Heirbrandt has been devoted to his new role.

“I was very impressed with his first meeting,” she said. “He knows how to work with people and get jobs done.”

Altman said Heirbrandt’s infrastructure background is a welcomed addition to the commissioners.

“That’s a lot of what commissioners do. That’s a huge plus for us,” she said. “We have good people working for us, but it’ll be nice having that experience on the board.”

VIEWS Opinion

Ivy Tech campus: Needs to happen

Pink ink

It is our position that the current trend of tattoo body art is more than a fashion statement. Move over Popeye the Sailor Man because Olive Oyl has taken over your seat at the local tattoo parlor. The percentage of women has surpassed the percentage of men sporting body art, encompassing nearly one quarter of the population in the United States. Stars, flowers, vines, butterflies and fairies have replaced anchors and barbed wire armbands among the most popular tattoos.

It’s conceivable that the rise in women being tattooed is due to a greater acceptance among the general public, caused by celebrity influence or gender equality. More than likely, the texting generation sees body art as another form of nonverbal communication in the expression of power, love, confidence, immortality and religion. Dressing for success is now literally skin deep.

Though, the question must be asked, “Is this newly vogue form of self-expression a help or a hindrance to social acceptance?”

How will the body art wear as skin starts to age? Will there be a huge market for tattoo removal in the future? After all, flowers do wilt, and stars fall from the sky. Perhaps it’s all a deliberate part of one’s pictorial life story.

How many details matter

Commentary by Terry Anker

Efficiently exchanging information helps to make us humans the top of the food chain.

It gives us the ability to work closely together and express complex thought through a variety of different formats – spoken and written being the most commonly employed. But in a world awash with information, how much detail do we need to get our points across?

A recent study shows that the average office worker spends about 25 percent of their time responding to or composing e-mail messages.

That amounts to around a 167-page novel written each year by each one of us. Coupled with the proliferation of text messaging, the ubiquitous voicemail and, yes, even good-oldfashioned post, most of us struggle to keep up. But, the communication matters. It keeps communities connected, families on track and businesses humming. So how do we keep the lines open without overloading our circuits?

As we go through the end-of-day rundown in our house, I’ve been known to accuse my

bride of telling of her day in real time. Even as she dutifully shares with me the particulars of the conversation she’d had with her mother, my attention wrongly begins to wane. And, I’ve been known to pare down too much.

Imagine this exchange: The Smiths had a baby. What did they name it?I’m not sure.

How big is it? I’m guessing that it is babysized. Well, do you even know what it is? I don’t know what kind of baby – I assume it is a boy or a girl. Over time, I’ve learned that gender, size, name and condition are important variables that need to be reported.

So, until us meager humans are able to effectively deploy the Vulcan mind-meld so deftly administered by Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, we have to find our own way – clumsily but sincerely.

The Hamilton County Council has given its support to an agreement to bring Ivy Tech to Noblesville, something that benefits the whole of the county. All that’s left for the addition of the school to become reality is a May 8 referendum and grabbing some state funding. With a mini-campus already in Carmel, this would give Ivy Tech a broader footprint in our county and would be a job generator on multiple levels.

We’re in favor of it happening, especially for reasons of affordable education with traditional four-year colleges often missing the mark. An Ivy Tech in Noblesville would be utilized by all communities and paid for by all communities. It’s good for all of us. Too, there could be myriad partnerships with local school districts, which would be a wonderful move.

••• Westfield Washington Schools is hosting a unique event Wednesday, College and Career Readiness Night for parents with students in kindergarten through sixth grade. That’s not a typographical error. Yes, for tykes and pre-teens.

The idea, and a good one, is to get parents to think way ahead and examine ways they can prepare their children with age-appropriate context. We like it. The school will provide onsite childcare as a way to assist parents that wish to attend the 6:30 p.m. session in the Westfield High School auditorium, and there are real benefits for parents, among them: what is new about applying to college and why it’s important now; the coming wave of “hot careers;” and how to afford a secondary education.

••• So, the U.S. Postal Service announces, in a move for fiscal responsibility, its intent to abandon Saturday delivery in August, and members of Congress already are putting up potential roadblocks. What else did you expect from The Hill?

VIEWS Humor

In a manner of speaking Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen has been reading a book that has me concerned. It raises expectations in women; it makes wives think their husbands are inadequate.

That’s why tomorrow, I’m tossing in the trash the latest edition of Emily Post’s “Etiquette.”

The volume is almost 800 pages and weighs two pounds. You have to hold it with two hands, but don’t use those two hands for eating fried chicken, jumbo shrimp or corn on the cob, which require another whole set of rules.

The book was actually written by the greatgreat-grandchildren of the original Emily Post, who died in 1960. The rumor is that, despite her legion of admirers, very few attended her funeral because many were afraid they’d wear something inappropriate.

Chapter 5 of the book is all about eating, table manners and restaurant etiquette. The first rule is that when out for dinner, do not violently shake your napkin when you open it. Well, I was off to a bad start. That pretty much put a damper on my first magic trick at the table.

Rules regarding dining in a restaurant are similar to those covering eating at home, which is odd since the first chapter says a woman should always keep her handbag in her lap when dining out. If your wife does this at the dinner table in your kitchen, some trust issues need to

be discussed.

Ms. Post’s tome raises some serious concerns about certain disturbing trends in our society.

“Salad – to my consternation – is now served before the meal,” she says. Yes, that is something to be “consterned” about. But, is it permissible to walk out of the restaurant before you order if the waitress has six facial piercings? Not a word on this.

How to eat a banana is something we have all struggled with. “At home, peel the banana halfway down and eat it bite by bite.” I’m on safe ground when the rules for humans are pretty much the same as for orangutans. At a restaurant, says Ms. Post, you should peel the whole fruit, cut it into pieces and eat with a fork. This is why ordering a banana off the dessert menu has never really caught on.

I’ve apparently violated all kinds of rules of etiquette when eating sushi, spaghetti, pizza and even soup, but I don’t want Emily Post’s ghost lecturing me on proper dining. It’s bad enough when my doctor looks at my cholesterol readings and tells me I’m not eating right.

Bad guys can’t drive a stick Commentary by Mike Redmond For years, I have discussed the benefits of the manual transmission for our motor vehicles.

Well, I call it discussion, but it was really more like shouting into the wind. People just don’t want to shift their own gears anymore, no matter how much you point out that it makes you a better driver, more in control of your vehicle and all that malarkey.

They don’t even respond when you bring up what I consider the number-one argument in favor of a manual transmission: Theft deterrence.

As in most people today have no idea how to drive a stickshift, and while their behavior might indicate otherwise, carjackers are people.

And as such can’t shift their own gears.

Need proof? Try this on for size, fresh from the World Wide Interweb Thingie: “Two armed men attempted to carjack a Corvette, Orlando police say, but were unable to figure out how to work the manual transmission.

“The Corvette’s owner, 51-year-old Randolph Bean, told WKMG-TV he was sitting in the yellow vehicle waiting for his wife to get out of work ... He saw two men approaching the car with a gun pointed at him. Bean says they opened the door and forced him out of the vehicle. One man held him on the ground at gun point.

www.currentinwestfield.com

“The second man, he says, got into the vehicle and, after some apparent confusion, started screaming, ‘How do I start the car?’ at Bean.”

There you go. Car theft foiled by a manual transmission. Chances are, most of today’s car thieves can’t drive a stick. Bad guys with a gun were stopped by a good guy with a manual transmission.

And because of this, I am really, really upset that the aforementioned manual transmission is disappearing from American automobiles.

Oh, sure, you can get one in a Randolph Bean Model Chevrolet Mid-Life Crisis, but it’s next to impossible to get a pickup with a manual transmission. Good grief. You’d think if the auto companies offered stick shifts in anything, it would be pickups. What could be more appropriate, especially since I’m truck shopping at the moment?

Oh well. For now I’ll take my victory in knowing that in this one instance, at least, logic won. A car with a manual transmission proved to be un-stealable.

I told you so.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower • PG-13, 102 minutes The Sessions • R, 95 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd I’ve never attempted a double video review before, but the simultaneous release of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “The Sessions” make for a perfect opportunity. Both are small, heartfelt, exquisitely acted dramas about people living on the margins of their community. And each film was virtually ignored in the Academy Award nominations.

In “The Sessions,” John Hawkes plays Mark, a man in his late 30s who is paralyzed and lives inside an iron lung. Frustrated with his virginity, he retains sex therapist Cheryl (Helen Hunt) to help bring him into adulthood, as he puts it.

“Perks” may just be the best high school movie of the last two decades. Writer/director

Stephen Chbosky, who adapted the film from his own novel, perfectly captures the moods and fears of the teenage soul. Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a smart, outcast underclassman who gets taken under the wing of Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson), a pair of popular but misfit seniors.

In a film year of highs and lows, these two stood head and shoulders above the crowd … despite Oscar’s snub.

Grant helps IRT further its mission news@currentinwestfield.com The Indiana Repertory Theatre announced a $10,000 grant from The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae. The grant makes The Sallie Mae Fund a Student Matinee and Artist in the Classroom sponsor for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,� which runs April 10 through May 12 on the IRT OneAmerica Stage. “We believe theater can be used as a primary tool to bring meaning into the lives of students, making the arts an invaluable component of their education,� said Steven Stolen, managing director at IRT. “This generous gift from The Sallie Mae Fund will allow more Indiana students the opportunity to engage in literature and history through theater. This is an exciting partnership for us as we continue to introduce live theater to Indiana students.�

In 2012, the IRT provided 105,472 live professional theater experiences for audiences.

These experiences included 41,747 students and teachers from 57 of Indiana’s 92 counties, making the IRT one of the most youth-oriented professional theaters in the country. A staff of more than 100 seasonal and year-round employees creates eight productions exclusively for Indiana audiences.

Everyday exercise tips for winter Commentary by Jessica Swenberg, MD If you find yourself slacking off on your New Year’s resolution to exercise, there are some great ways to stay fit indoors that don’t require an expensive gym membership. Even during the winter months when it’s harder to stay active, it’s important to keep moving. To stay healthy and fit, adults are strongly encouraged to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise three to five times a week.

With a little creativity, you can easily work fitness into your daily activities. At work, bypass the elevator and take the stairs. If you’re running errands, park your car at the far end of the parking lot and take advantage of a longer walk to the door.

Household chores also provide fitness opportunities. Turn on some music and move more while you’re vacuuming. If your home has stairs, be deliberate about making multiple trips up and down them. Carrying a loaded laundry basket up the stairs can help tone arms and provide cardiovascular benefits.

Do you watch TV at night? Do sit-ups, pushups or other floor exercises while catching up Listen up – Why do some garish men have trouble listening to women?

They can blame science. One study has found that because of the shape and dimensions of a woman’s larynx and vocal chords, as well as other factors, it takes harder work for a male brain to listen. – The Week presents Confidential Intelligence Briefing

on your favorite shows. To increase fitness, there are also some worthwhile and affordable exercise and toning DVDs on the market. Try a new one – maybe explore yoga or Pilates – every few weeks if you get bored. Another way to exercise indoors is to jump rope in the garage or basement. Use the internet or consult your local newspaper to find inexpensive exercise classes.

Many fitness centers offer low-cost classes with no monthly or long-term commitment.

As we know, Indiana weather in February and March can be fickle – warm one day and cold the next. Even when temperatures are in the 20s and 30s, you can layer clothing and take a brisk walk outdoors. As long as there is no risk of falling due to ice or snow, walking in the winter is a beneficial way to get your recommended weekly exercise. Consider making walking or fitness dates with a friend; you’ll be less likely to skip out on exercise if you have a standing appointment.

A REASON TO SMILE

Drinking calories – According to WebMD, you can only expect a beer to have listed calories if it has a “light” or “like” moniker. Otherwise, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (the government agency formerly known as ATF), will not make companies label that information. – www.webmd.com

A quick comparison – Imagine you’re at a bar and a bit thirsty. If you drink two beers, you’re imbibing around 300 to 400 calories – the same you’d ingest if you had a double hamburger from a run-of-the-mill fast food joint, according to a quiz from WebMD. – www.webmd.com

Will my surgery now cost more?

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: Will ObamaCare affect the cost of any of your services? I assume that cosmetic surgery and cosmetic services will be unaffected since these are cash and not insurance-reimbursed procedures.

A: Unfortunately, your assumption is incorrect.

ObamaCare impacts all medical services including that of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic services. The Affordable Health Care Act, passed into law in 2010, has imposed changes on our business. One change became effective in January, the new 2.3 percent Federal Excise Tax on all 24 | February 12, 2013

medical devices which affects any cosmetic procedure in which a device is implanted. This also affects the very popular injectable fillers which are classified as medical devices and also are included under the new federal excise tax. Botox is classified as a drug so it is excluded from the tax. In most practices, these new taxes will be passed on through the cost of the procedure.

DOUGH Insurance

Is umbrella coverage a necessity?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Lindsey J. from Fishers: My insurance agent is always trying to sell me an umbrella policy. Is this something I should consider adding? It just seems like an extra cost.

Answer from Jamie Ianigro: It sounds like you have a good agent. I always encourage my clients to at least consider adding the extra layer of liability protection that an umbrella/catastrophe policy will add. An umbrella policy is really all about having the peace of mind in knowing that your family and assets are protected.

There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim but the most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowner, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your policy limits are exhausted.

This is definitely a topic you should discuss with your independent insurance agent to make sure you are protected by a level of coverage that you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with a coverage limit of $1 million, but limits exceeding $10 million are available if you are looking for more.

Umbrella claims can happen no matter how prepared you are. Instead of talking about prevention this week, I want to show a couple of claim scenarios to illustrate how an umbrella policy will work.

Scenario #1: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for more than a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $800,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Scenario #2: The insured is having a summer barbeque and one of the guests steps off the edge of a retaining wall resulting in a spinal cord injury. He required multiple surgeries, an extended hospital stay and physical therapy. This claim cost $1.8 million with $1 million coming from the homeowner’s limits and $800,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Society Islands within reach

LET KEITH FIND A HOME YOU’LL FALL IN LOVE WITH!

Commentary by Lana Bandy

Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora may sound like exotic destinations, but they are well within reach for sunshine-seeking Hoosiers. French Polynesia consists of a string of about 130 islands in the South Pacific, with the beautiful Society Islands being the most popular with tourists.

Tahiti is the largest of the three islands. It is the commercial hub of French Polynesia and the stopping point for all flights from the U.S. While many tourists may overlook Tahiti and head directly to the other islands, Tahiti has many charms of its own – the lush green mountains, turquoise water and brilliant views of Moorea. The largest town on Tahiti is Papeete, and its Municipal Market is a main attraction.

The lure for shoppers is the exquisite black pearl. You can find this souvenir from the Tahitian waters everywhere, ranging in price from $20 to more than $10,000 depending on the pearl’s quality and setting.

The smaller, low-key Moorea is a 30-minute ferry ride from Papeete. This island has been described by many as the most beautiful place on earth. Activities include ATV rides to a waterfall, picnics on a motu (small islet), Polynesian dance shows and snorkeling among colorful tropical reef fish. No trip to Moorea would be complete without a trek up Belvedere Lookout, with its awe-inspiring panorama of Cook’s and Opunohu Bays. (Moorea’s charms worked on Warren Beatty and Annette Benning, who fell in

love here while filming Love Affair.)

Bora Bora is a one-hour flight from Papeete.

The honeymoon capital of the world, Bora Bora has more resorts than any of the other islands and is known for its iconic overwater bungalows and shark expeditions.

Most residents speak Tahitian as well as French. The majority of tourists are Americans, so English will serve you well, too. From Indianapolis, the easiest route is via Los Angeles, then a flight on Air Tahiti Nui (www.airtahitinui. com). Island accommodations range from casual $90 a day Polynesian huts (www.hotelkaveka. com) to ritzy five-star resorts (www.tahiti.interconti.com). Prices and availability are best January to April.

Stop giving away your power Commentary by Kristen Boice Do you give other people your power by letting them control how you feel about yourself?

Do you try to please others so you will feel better about yourself? Do you try to keep the peace within your relationships by not rocking the boat so you end up walking on eggshells and losing a sense of who you are?

We give away our power when we focus on what others think about us or let their opinions define how we see ourselves. When we don’t speak our truth, we slowly lose parts of ourselves. When we start letting go of trying to please others, focus on what they think of us or stop walking on eggshells, we begin to feel empowered and start having more joy, peace and happiness in our lives.

We live in a world with so much judgment about how we look, how we dress, what house we live in, what car we drive and what job we have. When in reality, none of this truly matters. What matters is that we are centered in who we are. When we live our lives with integrity, passion, honesty, authenticity, compassion and heart or, whatever has deeper meaning to you, we step into a more fulfilling life.

It is easy to get caught up in the latest and greatest and comparing ourselves to others.

When we compare ourselves to others, we are www.currentinwestfield.com

no longer empowered. We are stuck in shame, doubt and inadequacy.

Below are three steps to begin taking back your power and building a solid foundation for who you are and what you want in your life.

Weed out toxic people in your life. Surround yourself with safe people that are going to love you for who you are. They provide honest feedback, let you have a voice and, most importantly, help you continue to grow and be the best person you can be.

Empower others. One of the greatest gifts we can give to others is to show up and honor others by letting them have a voice. This leads to more people feeling like they matter and are important. It’s really about, “Doing unto others as you would like done unto you.”

Take time to figure out who you are. You are not alone if you don’t know exactly who you are. It’s a journey of self-discovery. Write in a journal five minutes a day about answering this question, “Who are you?” Explore your likes, passions, dislikes and what pulls at your heartstrings. You are worth it!

LIFESTYLE Grammar Guy

Commas are splicing up life Commentary by Jordan Fischer There are a lot of ways to use the versatile comma. Today, we’ll be talking about a common way to misuse it: comma splices.

The basic function of a comma is to create a pause in the pace of reading. Pauses are often used when listing items, when offering additional, non-essential details or when combining two independent clauses with the help of a coordinating conjunction like “and.” A comma splice is a failed attempt at the latter.

Independent clauses are, appropriately enough, clauses which can stand on their own as sentences without additional modification. For example, consider a young girl playing kickball: “Sally stepped up to the plate. Then she kicked the ball.” Each sentence is whole in and of itself.

But, what if we want to make the action seem faster for the reader? We can speed up the pace by reducing the hard stop a period offers to the softer pause of a comma. That sentence might look like this: “Sally stepped up to the plate, and then kicked the ball.”

Comma splices come into play when writers forget to include one of the seven coordinating conjunctions (“for,” “and,” “nor,” “but,” “or,” “yet,” “so”) after a comma used to combine two independent clauses. A comma splice of our ex-

ample above would be: “Sally stepped up to the plate, then kicked the ball.” Fixing the comma splice is as simple as inserting a coordinating conjunction or using a period to remake the clauses into separate sentences.

Comma splices also frequently occur when writers attempt to be clever by joining two independent clauses together with a comma and conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs – a long list which includes words like “therefore,” “furthermore,” “anyway” and “nonetheless” – can be used to join independent clauses, but only with the help of a period or semicolon.

So how do you recognize a comma splice? If you’ve used a comma to join two clauses, examine whether they are independent, or can stand on their own. If so, have you used a coordinating conjunction after the comma? If not, you’ve likely created a comma splice. Fortunately, the solution is a simple and quick one: insert a coordinating conjunction, or separate the clauses with a period.

The basic function of a comma is to create a pause in the pace of reading

Black makes moulding pop

Is caring for an aging loved one weighing you down?

Do you need support? Help? Answers? Join us ...

Commentary by Vicky Early If you are a true interior decorating aficionado, I am sure you have experienced this. It happens when you least expect it. You know the feeling … you walk into a room and let out a gasp. The room is incredible, and you have to stop and simply absorb it.

This typically happens when risks are taken with skill. One of my favorite leaps out of the norm is an unexpected color of molding.

I once saw a room painted an unassuming pale blue and the thick molding around the windows, the crown molding, and the doors were all painted a warm black. Yes, black molding paired with unassuming pale blue walls sounds horrible. The finished product was incredible.

Black is that grounding color that flatters any hue that stands alongside it. Black is thought of as a sophisticated color, but for those who fear the dark, it’s often written off as too risky.

Sophistication is defined by black, so light walls and black trim and doors are destined to be classic. Crown molding, doors, shoe molding, stair treads, railings, bookcases and cabinetry take on an air of importance when painted black.

When black is too intimidating, consider a color for molding and doors while leaving the walls a color closer to white. Elevated style can be added to this combination by adding nail heads to the closet door.

These techniques are most effective when the Easy Valentine’s Day decoration – So, you’re running out of time before the big day and don’t have a lot of cash for holiday decorations, right? A really easy way to add a handmade Valentine’s Day decoration to the living room is by simply using stencils or homemade letters and some fabric paint to spell out ‘love’ all loveydovey on a plain pillow. Done and done! – www.bhg.com

Presented By:

remainder of the room is somewhat quiet and just a few focal points demand attention. The drama of the molding makes it a major focal point, and it must be regarded as such, or the room risks becoming kitschy.

Technique is important for a professional finish. Spray painting your molding and doors is ideal, but if that is not an option, use a dense foam roller. Brush marks will be obvious with gloss trim paint.

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

A preview of 2013’s hot topics Commentary by Randy Sorrell Anticipation grows. Not just for spring, but for all things fueled by outdoor living. And, not just for any outdoor living, but luxury outdoor living.

What are you anticipating this year when daylight grows and a walk in the park or a celebration on the patio is a visitor again?

Here’s a stripped down glance of my anticipated trends and emerging topics for 2013 and beyond: • Appreciation of shade and the innovative mechanisms being created to protect ourselves continues to expand. You will be jazzed at what’s next.

• Will the value of smart water use finally prompt a regional effort to manage our most valuable resource? Leadership is needed.

• Everything good and healthy about outdoor living reaches a tipping point. Are we on the threshold of divorcing ourselves from our smart phones for more than a few minutes to appreciate nature? Want a happy family? Get outside!

• Less is more and the appreciation of stylish simplicity gains momentum. Imagine the provocative implications for your backyard.

• Authentic new plant varieties that re-bloom with a color-riot, are massively fragrant, seldom need pruned or watered and make coffee in the morning. Natives or not.

• The growth of getting real. Not every back yard should duplicate page 17 of your favorite paver catalog. Fresh design and real stone (travertine, limestone, bluestone) …”rocks.” Pun intended.

• Interpreting reduced maintenance patios and landscapes.

• More topics – weather extremes, crushed stone paths and patios, customization on the cheap, grill stations/alternatives and a twist on modern fire features.

• And of course, what’s happening with the Kardashian’s.

Follow me over the inspiring months ahead to explore several thrilling outdoor projects, detail the spirited trends of 2013 and anticipate the art, the value and the love of luxury outdoor living.

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

‘His and hers’ can create harmony Commentary by David Decker For couples, the idea of living together can seem exciting, romantic and adventurous. And it can be, unless you let everyday clutter get in the way. Arguments over space, messes and bad habits can sometimes get in the way of being able to enjoy each other’s company. Almost everyone has experienced these issues at one point, so I’m sure you all would agree that it’s no fun to argue about such nit-picky things. Since Valentine’s Day isn’t too far off, this might be the perfect time to start some home improvement projects intended to make your life as a couple happier.

Even though you are sharing a home, no couple wants to share everything. That’s why the idea of “his and hers” comes in handy when organizing your home. Look for opportunities and design strategies that can separate your stuff from your partner’s. Let’s first take a look at strategies for the bathroom, a room that tends to get dirty quickly, be filled to the brim with products (ladies: I’m looking at you), and is overall a difficult place to share without occasionally butting heads. Here, I’d suggest installing a double sink unit complete with separate storage cabinets and drawers. These units can look luxurious while separating each person’s bathroom items.

Storing toiletries in drawers will free up counter space, make the bathroom look more spacious and ensure that neither person feels crunched for storage. If your master bathroom is simply one large, open space, I’d also suggest installing some sort of privacy screen by the toilet, if you don’t have one already.

Some men share a closet with their partner.

Because of their convenience, his and her closets are becoming extremely popular in new homes.

It’s possible to convert unused corner space into an extra closet, so this might be a weekend project you’d like to investigate.

Another commonly shared room is the home office. If you feel that your office is too cluttered

or disorganized, it might be a good idea to invest in a few pieces of new furniture. Consider equipping the room with two small desks, instead of one. With two desks, you’ll have more storage possibilities and a separate workspace that’s all your own. Organize the odds and ends around using dual bookshelves or file cabinets.

Bringing two separate lives together isn’t always easy. Luckily, smart home design can alleviate some of the most common squabbles.
